One Pan Garlic Ranch Chicken and Veggies
This One Pan Garlic Ranch Chicken and Veggies recipe features bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs seasoned with brown sugar and garlic, roasted alongside halved baby red potatoes and peeled baby carrots. The dish is coated with olive oil and a packet of Ranch seasoning mix, which infuses the chicken and vegetables with a savory, herby flavor. The oven roasting method yields tender meat with slightly caramelized, crisped skin and tender vegetables throughout, all in a single sheet pan for straightforward preparation and cleanup.
Ingredients
- 8 teaspoons brown sugar divided
- 8 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- 16 ounces red potatoes halved, baby
- 16 ounces carrots baby, peeled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Ranch Seasoning and Salad Dressing Mix 1-ounce package
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped fresh leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
- Using your fingers, work the brown sugar, about 1 teaspoon per thigh, onto both sides of the chicken.
- Place chicken, potatoes and carrots in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Ranch Seasoning and garlic; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place into oven and roast until the chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes.* Then broil for 2-3 minutes, or until caramelized and slightly charred.
- Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
Notes
- Adjust cooking time depending on the size and thickness of potatoes and carrots to ensure even cooking.
- Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for more flavor and moisture.
- Broil briefly at the end to develop caramelized, slightly charred skin on the chicken.
- Serve immediately and garnish with fresh parsley for added color and freshness.
